"General Custer" is one of ten prints in Andy Warhol’s 1986 "Cowboys and Indians" series. The portfolio explores the relationship between the media’s romanticized take on the Great American West and its duplicitous effect on correctly understanding history. General Custer was a commander of the Union Army during the American Civil War and fought against Indigenous Americans during the American Indian Wars. He died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn at the hand of Sioux leader Sitting Bull and his Plains Indians army.
